Secretarial supervisor in orthopaedics, Beth Swan, has waved goodbye to an NHS career lasting 43 years and is embarking on a new journey in her retirement, going on cruises with her husband Jack.
Beth began working in Bellsdyke Hospital and also spent time in Falkirk and Stirling Royal Infirmaries before moving to Forth Valley Royal Hospital. She received flowers from her colleagues plus money which she has put towards designing a new sapphire ring.
